I wondered if the team that loses the toss could have the option of swapping after 10 overs or 5 wkts (keeping their remaining overs until the other team has batted/bowled their 20). Would certainly make it interesting tactically.Maybe have 2 innings of 10 overs each to negate the toss

Make it nine innings and call the world cup a 'world series'.
I'd like to see that ten overs format tried or maybe they need to have wickets specially prepared by the ICC in a country with fairer wickets.
Surely it's possible these days to stick a wicket in the back of a plane and fly it to the ground and plug it into the ground.
Win the toss 20/20 World Cup fcuking joke.
Cheating Aussies predictably win 'tossers cup'.

Or start the games earlier like some of the super 12 games to ensure a fairer contest between bat and ball. Peak viewing figures in the sub-continent obviously matter more. If I was an Aussie or a Kiwi I might stay up to watch a T20 WC final.......not sure I'd get up in the middle of the night for one.Maybe have 2 innings of 10 overs each to negate the toss

Just what the world needed, that bunch of cnuts winning again….
They’ll probably go full dipper about their ‘redemption’
Horrible cheating twats with a monumental twat in charge of them (Langer)

Well who knows t20 will be way forward and will replace Odis … don’t see future of ODIs lasting much longer.Cheating Aussies predictably win 'tossers cup'.

I literally only watch ODIs during the World Cups so I wouldn't miss them that much. They're just a bit too long to casually watch. Something else normally gets in the way.
Test cricket is different. You watch the key stages that you can on TV, listen to it in the car, listen to it whilst your doing jobs around the house, follow it on Espncricinfo at work etc. You accept that you can't see it all and you sneak it into your day.
The highest scoring final.
The toss wasn't that decisive, not like in a test match. England's form dropped if in the last two games, lost both, one the toss v SA and couldn't chase down the total.
Outstanding batting from Australia in both the semi and final, NZ were 4/5 favourites at the interval.
